Business Wire
ScanSource, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCSC), a leading value-added distributor
of specialty technology products, announced today that it has
purchased the assets of T2 Supply, LLC (T2). T2 markets video
conferencing and telephony products from leading vendors such as
Polycom and Plantronics and is based in Lenexa, Kansas. T2 is
Polycom's Largest Volume Distributor - an award which it won for
the third year in a row at Polycom's Global Partner Conference in
May 2006. T2 will be named among Ingram Magazine's Top 100 Fastest
Growing Companies in Kansas City in their July 2006 issue. Jill
Phillips, T2's Vice President of Operations will become President
of T2 Supply, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ScanSource, and
Tod Vedock will continue in the role of Vice President of Sales.
"The acquisition of T2 will help us fill out our long term
convergence strategy by adding video conferencing products and
expertise," said Mike Baur, ScanSource's President and Chief
Executive Officer. "The addition of T2's customer base of voice and
video conferencing resellers should provide many cross-selling
opportunities and their products will complement the offerings of
our other communication sales units - Catalyst and Paracon. T2 has
built a strong business, and its employees bring a great
understanding of the needs of resellers in this space. With our
companies' combined resources, we believe T2's manufacturer
partners will benefit from more value-added programs such as our
Solution City Vertical Market initiative." "We are extremely
excited about our new relationship with ScanSource. As a business
unit of ScanSource, we can now offer our customers more inventory,
access to complementary product lines, a greater variety of
marketing programs, enhanced technical services, and increased
educational programs," said Jill Phillips. "Our goal remains to
help our resellers and manufacturers grow their businesses, and
partnering with ScanSource, an international leader in specialty
technology distribution, will enable us to do that." The
transaction was completed on July 3, 2006 as a purchase of assets
for cash. After acquisition expenses and additional interest cost
of approximately $.02 per share for the September quarter, the
acquisition is expected to be non-dilutive to earnings. T2 Supply
has 36 employees in various roles including sales, technical
support, marketing and product management. About T2 Supply T2
